If this is not love

Chapter 39 The Last Second of the Finale (3)
He has never been a bird in a cage. It is up to him to choose whether he rests comfortably or spreads his wings.However, my father said that he was suffering from bumps and bumps outside, and he was not allowed to come back to win sympathy.After that, the number of times I saw my father was very few. It was not until my father took a group photo with the lawyers in the Rising Sun Firm that the reporter published it in a magazine. He found another familiar beautiful face besides his father, so he decided to come back. take over...

Tan Shaojie opened the small paper bag, and the New Year gift she gave turned out to be a Taoist amulet.Holding the red silk thread, the amulet swayed gently.

"Boy, what do you want to eat? Do you want some..." Tan Mingxu suddenly appeared at the door again, "Huh? What's in your hand?"

"Cough! It's nothing." Tan Shaojie cleared his throat and quickly put it away.

"It's so mysterious. I've seen it all. It's a peace talisman in the Wuyeshan Temple. This little thing was consecrated by the presiding old monk himself. It's not easy to find. It's said to be very powerful. You'd better wear it on your body every day. In my opinion , Is it the love of a little girl? When have you seen her?"

"Cough! Dad, I'm hungry..."

Look, big men can act like a baby too, and acting like a baby is just as effective.So the old man didn't ask any more questions, and immediately went to the kitchen.

The TV in the room was turned on loudly, but Ruxu still felt deserted and sat depressed.

He has stayed with her quite a few times, and she has cleaned up the personal items left behind, some have been thrown away, and some are still kept.On the lower level of the coffee table, there are neatly stacked car magazines he often reads; next to the water dispenser, there is his teacup; in the entrance, there are slippers he wears when he takes out the trash for her...

She looked around silently, and put back everything that should have returned to its original place.

When will the him she was waiting for come back?The place at the atrium seemed to have dug a big hole, it was empty, and she knew exactly what was lost there.
-
You don't have to worry about meeting acquaintances with me anymore, don't worry about being misunderstood, and don't worry about me maliciously bullying you...
-
If you are still not at ease, I can pretend not to know each other when we meet on the road in the future, and no one will know... what happened to us, and no one will put pressure on you and force the feelings you can't afford. so you can go?

"Shaojie... You shouldn't take back all your feelings so quickly, right?" Ruxu murmured to herself, she needed more courage, so she slapped herself suddenly, and closed her eyes tightly, "Don't be afraid of fighting, and never lose." Discouragement. Even if you have given up, I will never give up easily!"

This time, she made up her mind and wanted to seriously find a man to spend her life with.And they're in love, they're each other's best mates.

He is mean and likes to make her angry, but he will do everything he asks of her, so she always says--
"Tan Shaojie, I'm hungry."

"Tan Shaojie, go take out the trash."

"Tan Shaojie, I'm so tired, pick some good songs for me, I want to listen to music."

"Tan Shaojie, do you really know how to mop the floor? How did you make the floor so wet that it's easy to slip, do you know that? Get a dry towel and wipe it right away!"

"Tan Shaojie, your game is so boring, I want to watch the documentary."

"Tan Shaojie..."

Every time she recalled a sentence, her heart tightened.How could she not believe him when he said he loved her?
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole city became orderly again, and those who should go to work and those who should work should perform their duties.

Ruxu originally thought that she and Tan Shaojie could see each other every day, so she didn't worry that there would be no chance to let go.But the facts caught her off guard. When she stepped into the office, it was the smiling Tan Mingxu who handed out a good start.Whether it was intentional or not, Tan Mingxu only briefly mentioned about his son.

"Shaojie had an accident a few years ago, and he needs to rest in peace recently. He will come back after a while. Thank you for your concern!"

However, until the Lantern Festival on the 15th, Tan Shaojie still did not appear.Ruxu made several private phone calls, but they didn't get through.

Where did he go?Are the injuries all healed?She is very disturbed.

Xin Ning said, "Do you want my husband to help? Dig three feet to find him."

Yichen said: "Give him some time! He won't be willing to really cut off contact with you."

So, she waited patiently, and sometimes deliberately drove around the road where Tan Da lived, hoping to meet unexpectedly.Gradually, she understood another truth.It turned out that every time she went out before, it was not God's will that Tan Shaojie could appear by coincidence, but his unknown intention...

That night, she plucked up the courage to knock on the door of Tan Da's house, but she still didn't see the person she wanted to see.

Tan Mingxu was surprised to see Ruxu appearing suddenly, but he welcomed him very warmly.He clearly knew the purpose of her sudden visit, but he decided not to mention anything about his son. Instead, he continued to treat her to fruit and praised her recent outstanding performance... Ruxu was overwhelmed and fidgeted, and suddenly found that the father and son have one thing in common That is--they are very good at torturing people's will, and they are very bad and very deliberate!

Fortunately, when she was about to leave, Tan Mingxu finally showed kindness and said a few important things that worried her.

"My son, don't look at him always acting like he doesn't care, in fact, the people and things he really cares about are here." He patted his chest, feeling ashamed in his love, "I divorced his mother, which caused him displeasure. A small injury, and his brother's tragedy... It was a nightmare for him, leaving behind an indelible shadow. The more indifferent he is on the surface, the more painful he is in his heart. For you, he has done his best and overcome a lot It is because of psychological barriers that he dares to face that relationship. However, he is less secure about love and hidden marriage than many people, and he doesn't know how to fight for and show off, that's why he got into this with you."

"Don't worry, the stitches have been removed from the wound on his arm. The ninth day of the lunar new year is the anniversary of my brother's death. This month, he accompanied his mother to the mountains to eat fast, so he didn't hide from you on purpose."

"Xiaoxu, if you have a heart for Shaojie, don't give up easily. If he is still willing to accept you, he will definitely give you happiness. But... there are many excellent girls around Shaojie, you have to seize the opportunity. "

Ruxu is very grateful to Tan Da, what he said is the truth, and he is also encouraging her, but if Shaojie does not come back, where is her chance?to find him?

...

In the blink of an eye, the first month passed, and the air gradually revealed the breath of spring, but the cold wind at night was still freezing.

This afternoon, Yichen was going to the airport to catch a plane to attend a precious music exchange meeting abroad.Ruxu drove him off, the red light at the intersection was on, several cars lined up, waiting patiently.

"You go to France first, and then to Italy? This trip sounds very fulfilling and chic!"

"Well, you won't see me in two months." Yichen maintained a smile on his face and rubbed her hair, "Don't miss me too much!"

"Ha, who do you miss?" Ruxu responded casually. There are many ways to be happy, and she enjoys the current relationship with Yichen very much.

"Leave someone the time you miss me!" Yichen was very generous.

"It's okay, I've spent 90.00% of my time thinking about him, and the remaining [-]% is for you."

"Uh... she really is a woman who has changed her mind."

"You asked for it." Although the two were joking, their vivid smiles were inevitably bitter when they thought of Tan Shaojie who hadn't seen each other for a long time.Yichen stared at her, and suddenly stretched out his hand, wiping the corner of her eyes, it turned out that even she didn't know when tears overflowed.

"I heard that women are very fragile when they fall in love, and they cry easily. It turns out to be true. But Miss Wang, you haven't lost your love yet. There's nothing to cry about." Yichen smiled and sighed, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her , "When you are so happy that you can smile all the time, you must send me a photo."

"Definitely." She took the handkerchief and dried the corners of her eyes.

The green light ahead is on, and the car continues to move forward.They didn't notice that in the car parked next to them just now, there was a man with a gloomy face, holding the direction by the side, and driving in another direction.

Over the past month, Ruxu has developed a habit of going around the place where Tan Shaojie lives when he has time.Knowing that he was not there, she would still stop the car and stare at his window silently for a few minutes.

In the evening, I rejected the gathering among my colleagues, and came to his downstairs again without knowing it.There was music playing in the car, which was the tune he chose when he taught her to dance last time. He listened to it, and couldn't help but recall the scene of dancing with him that night.Looking back now, my heart should have been moved, otherwise why would my face turn red and my heart beat faster when I embraced him?

Slightly closing his eyes, leaning on the seat, letting his thoughts fly in the bitterness...

Suddenly, two figures appeared at the gate of the community, drawing all her attention, making it difficult to breathe.

It's Tan Shaojie!She didn't look too far, it was really Tan Shaojie!It turned out that he had already returned, wearing a camel woolen sweater, with a straight figure and casual attire. He looked thinner, but looked refreshed.The point is not here, but that he has a girl on his arm, a fashionable and young girl.

They talked and laughed, and walked out while talking, without noticing the little red car parked on the side of the road.Ruxu almost forgot to blink, she unconsciously covered her chest with one hand, clutched the skirt of her clothes tightly, her heart was so astringent and painful.

That girl is so beautiful, the most important thing is that she is very good at laughing, and her smile is lively and cheerful.Through the glass window, Ruxu could vaguely hear her silvery laughter. With such a girl, you will surely forget a lot of troubles!
Tan Shaojie... have you forgotten me?Have you forgotten me so soon?Have you forgotten the joys and sorrows between us?If you haven't forgotten, why can you talk and laugh with another woman when I am tortured by longing?Why would you want to take her to your house?
Don't forget me, don't ignore me, don't reject me again...I'm so sorry!
At that moment, a big hole broke in my heart, and I was more flustered than ever, with an indescribable fear...

Her limbs were stiff, and she sat there for a while.

Their figures got farther and farther away, and finally, she slammed open the car door and chased them out desperately.

There are many things to tell him.No matter whether he has forgotten her or not, no matter whether he has new friends or not, no matter whether he refuses to listen or not, she must tell him all the words in her heart!
"Tan Shaojie..." Ruxu ran along the road, shouting behind them, not caring about attracting the attention of others.

Tan Shaojie walked side by side with the woman, but he didn't seem to hear her.

"Tan Shaojie...wait a minute." Panting, she shouted with all her strength at the corner of the street.

Finally, there was a reaction in front of him, Tan Shaojie stopped, turned his head to see her, his expression suddenly changed a little, and the bottom of his eyes dimmed instantly.

"It's really you... When did you come back?" Because she was too excited, her voice trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to look at the girl next to him.But the girl looked at her curiously.

Her cheeks were flushed, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes emitted a faint mist under the illumination of the street lamp.She has never been so cute and pitiful, with panic and panic in her big eyes.

Tan Shaojie frowned handsomely: "Why are you here?"

Ruxu bit her lips: "I...passed by here, happened to see you, so...say hello."

He stared at her suspiciously, and cleared his throat: "Oh! How are you doing recently? I heard that you just started working, and you completed a very difficult case."

Ruxu couldn't be in the mood to talk about work, so she glanced at the girl next to him, feeling vaguely familiar, but didn't have the time to think about it.She looked at him: "are your injuries healed? Is your arm fully recovered?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern." He replied very politely.

"You...Is this your... new girlfriend?" She asked a few words with great difficulty, and Ruxu held her breath waiting for the answer.

Tan Shaojie was noncommittal, but the girl approached him like a bird, blinking her beautiful long eyelashes: "Shaojie and I are boyfriend and girlfriend who have known each other for a long, long time!" She deliberately emphasized the time, and a playful flash appeared on her delicate face, "So, I also know Miss Wang!"

Ruxu pursed her lips in shock, her expression stiffened a lot, and her original courage suffered a severe blow in an instant.She managed to squeeze out a smile: "Really? Then I feel very honored. Tan Shaojie, I have something to say to you alone."

Tan Shaojie raised the corners of his lips and said calmly: "We are all friends, so there is no need to talk about it alone? And I'm in a hurry and have a party."

The woman hurriedly interjected: "Shaojie, you really don't understand style. Miss Wang wants to tell you alone, there must be something very important, so it's not convenient for me to hear it! I'll go first and tell everyone that you will be late. "

There were only two people facing each other on the side of the street, and the streetlights stretched their figures very long.
